Homebrew possible ARM11 kernel hack on 10.5

[zoogie]

I can't figure out why people were/are testing svchax with emunand.
Makes no sense since the cfw firm rarely matches the emu firm.

Hey so just a quick questions, how can you put CIA files on a N3DSXL on 9.2. Gonna get my Hyrule or Red N3DSXL soon and also how do I downgrade a Hyrule n3DSXL or a Red N3DSXL. Need help as I am set to downgrade properly 10.6

Make sure your downloaded filename is 9.2.0-20U(Full)_n3DS.zip
MD5 is e6339468a1e82b1d50e9222f017c0477

Then put the "updates" folder on the root of your SD with all the CIAs inside.

Gonna make a emunand this time but do you thing I should update to 10.6 add my NNID account then downgrade to 9.2 or would it be easier the other way around as I just downgrade whatever the firmware is installed on it also how do you add CIAs on it once on 9.2

is it save to use the new SysUpdater for an Old 3DS on FW 9.9? i know there is an old one for this FW but i want to try with the new one instead Just to see how well it works

Only on n3DS. Look at the first post in this thread and you can see that fairly clearly shows that.

Hmmm, I don't understand your point.
I wasn't talking about svchax, it never worked on my N3DS.

I was talking about sysupdater-10-4-382016250 on my N3DS? The first post never mentioned this app.
Now maybe it won't work on a 10.3 O3DS like you say, but why wouldn't it?

 

[punderino]

it is still better if it worked correctly on all firm versions. and the update window to 10.6 will be closing soon
also it might already work on those firmwares where the dumps are still missing.


no idea, I'll see if I can get more of those missing dumps on o3DS at least.

I uh, got a 10.6 SysNand to downgrade to 9.0 on a N3DS on stream. xDD I'll send you a link if you want.

And sysupdater-10-4 uses svchax, which means it supports what svchax does (even if the test app was failing for some reason on systems it should have worked for)

It won't work on o3DS 10.3 because svchax doesn't support o3DS 10.2 NATIVE_FIRM

Changed my previous post to reflect your thoughts...

Happy?

$100 to get Pubic Ninja. js

If you have OoT, run the oothax installer and set up the payload for New3DS 10.6.0-31E before you do the downgrade. You'd still be able to get into the homebrew channel after upgrading again.

Or... you could just stay on 9.2, make an emunand, and update that to 10.6 instead!

ok guys, I just bought Cubic Ninja for 40€.
I tried again and same thing happened.

Ambassador Edition n3DS 10.6 with Cubic Ninja as entry point.

EDIT : One more time. I really don't want to wipe all my data

Yes i'm using a9lh

Luckily, the test not working on emuNAND isn't because of A9LH or emuNAND/cfw itself. There's something weird going on with one of the following:

1. Compiler flags
2. Where svchax_init is called
3. The custom heap code the test uses

If the test code is changed to match the same relative location where svchax_init is called, use the same compilation flags, and commenting out the heap code, it boots like sysupdater does. Now to narrow down which one it really is.

Ok I got the Hyrule N3DSXL on 9.9. what firmware can I install CIA

*facepalm* I need a vacation from this forum for a week or so so that there's enough time for an app or two available to spoon feed all these noobs. READ. READ, GOD DAMN YOU. You have to downgrade and setup custom firmware. There's a tutorial section here for a reason.

Found it, it was the heap code as far as I can tell. Commenting that out fixed it, so the test should work on N3DS now, once Aliaspider posts an updated version.

try just deleting the nintendo 3ds folder off your sd card, back it up first if you have anything important that's where your saves and themes and stuff are. that helped me, formatting shouldn't actually be necessary.

 

[aliaspider]

finally got the test to work on n3DS thanks to the help of @daxtsu.

I'm glad this mystery is solved xD.

 

[daxtsu]

Boot success rate is about 25% on N3DS with the test and sysupdater, at least on my end.

 

[ThunderDemon3DS]

Updated my Hyrule N3DSXL from 9.9 to 10.6 then downgraded with the correct files to 9.2 IDC so happy

 

[Bedel]

Worked! At the first try. Maybe just luck, but there it is.

Is the list on OP post reliable for listing what firmwares are currently supported by svchax?
